Cookie Policy
Effective: 16 May 2024
The websites of AI Native Foundation and its AI projects (collectively, the “Sites”) use cookies, in combination with pixels, local storage objects, and similar devices (collectively, “cookies” unless otherwise noted) to distinguish you from other users of the Sites. This helps us provide you with a good experience, improve our service, and personalize ads and content that may be delivered to you while you use the Sites.
This cookie policy (“Cookie Policy”) describes the types of the cookies we use on the Sites and our purposes for using them.
If you have questions about this Cookie Policy, please contact us at [email protected]. For a more complete description and list of the third party cookies that we currently use on the Sites, please see below. For more information about our privacy practices, please review our Privacy Policy. We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, so please check back periodically.

What Is a Cookie?
A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that we store on your browser or the hard drive of your computer. Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so that it will refuse cookies, our system will issue cookies as soon as you visit the Sites.
Key Concepts
First and third-party cookies: whether a cookie is ‘first’ or ‘third’ party refers to the domain placing the cookie.
- First-party cookies are those set by a website that is being visited by the user at the time (e.g., cookies placed by ainativefoundation.org).
- Third-party cookies are cookies that are set by a domain other than that of the website being visited by the user. If a user visits a website and another entity sets a cookie through that website, this would be a third-party cookie.
Persistent cookies: these cookies remain on a user’s device for the period of time specified in the cookie. They are activated each time that the user visits the website that created that particular cookie.
Session cookies: these cookies allow website operators to link the actions of a user during a browser session. A browser session starts when a user opens the browser window and finishes when they close the browser window. Session cookies are created temporarily. Once you close the browser, all session cookies are deleted.
How to Delete and Block our Cookies
Most web browsers allow some control of most cookies through the browser settings. However, if you use your browser settings to block all cookies (including essential cookies), you may not be able to access all or parts of the Sites and some Site features may not function properly.

What Cookies Do We Use and Why?
Generally the Sites use cookies to distinguish you from other users of the Sites. This helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse the Sites and also allows us to improve them.
The cookies we may use on the Sites may be categorized as follows:
- Essential
- Analytics
- Personalization
- Marketing
Some cookies may fulfill more than one of these purposes.
‘Essential’ cookies let you move around the Sites and use essential features like secure areas. Without these cookies, we cannot provide the requested services.
We use essential cookies to:
- Identify you as being logged in to the Sites and to authenticate you
- Make sure you connect to the right service on our Sites when we make any changes to the way it works
- For security purposes
Accepting these cookies is a condition of using certain functionality of the Sites, so if you prevent these cookies we can’t guarantee how the Sites or the security on the Sites will perform during your visit.
‘Analytics’ cookies collect information about how you use the Sites, e.g. which pages you visit, and if you experience any errors. These cookies do not collect any information that could identify you and are only used to help us improve how the Sites work, understand what interests our users and measure the effectiveness of our advertising.
We use analytics cookies to:
- Carry out web analytics: Provide statistics on how the Sites are used
- Perform partner and affiliate program tracking: Provide feedback to partners and affiliate program third parties that one of our visitors also visited their site
- Obtain data on the number of users of the Sites that have viewed a part of the Sites
- Help us improve the Sites by measuring any errors that occur
- Test different designs for the Sites
Some of our analytics cookies are managed for us by third parties.
‘Personalization’ cookies are used to provide services or to remember settings to improve your visit.
We use personalization cookies for such purposes as:
- Remember settings you’ve applied such as layout, text size, preferences and colors
- Remember if we’ve already asked you if you want to fill in a survey
- Remember if you have engaged with a particular component or list on the Sites so that it won’t repeat
- Show you when you’re logged in to the Sites
- To provide and show embedded video content
Some of our personalization cookies are managed for us by third parties.
‘Marketing’ cookies are used to track your visit to the Sites, as well other websites, apps and online services, including the pages you have visited and the links you have followed, which allows us to display targeted ads to you on the Sites.
We may use marketing cookies to:
- Display targeted ads within the Sites, including those displaying our training, certification and event opportunities.
- To improve how we deliver personalized ads and content, and to measure the success of ad campaigns on the Sites.
